2 Chronicles 1
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him and magnified him exceedingly.
Salomo, Davids Søn, fik sikret sig Magten, og HERREN hans Gud var med ham og gjorde ham overmåde mægtig.
2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the princes of all Israel, the chief fathers;
Da tilsagde Salomo hele Israel, Tusind- og Hundredførerne, Dommerne og alle Israels Øverster, Fædrenehusenes Overhoveder,
3 and Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place at Gibeon; for there was God's tent of meeting which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
og ledsaget af hele Forsamlingen drog han til Offerhøjen i Gibeon. Der stod Guds Åbenbaringstelt, som HERRENs Tjener Moses havde rejst i Ørkenen,
4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the [place] that David had prepared for it; for he had spread a tent for it at Jerusalem.
men Guds Ark havde David bragt op fra Kijat-Jearim til det Sted, han havde beredt den, idet han havde ladet rejse et Telt til den i Jerusalem.
5 And the brazen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
Men Kobberalteret, som Bezal'el, en Søn af Hurs Søn Uri, havde lavet, stod der foran HERRENs Bolig, og der søgte Salomo og Forsamlingen ham.
6 And Solomon offered there upon the brazen altar before Jehovah which was at the tent of meeting; and he offered up a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
Og Salomo ofrede der på Åbenbaringsteltets Kobberalter, som stod foran HERRENs Åsyn, han ofrede 1000 Brændofre derpå.
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
Samme Nat lod Gud sig til Syne for Salomo og sagde til ham: "Sig, hvad du ønsker, jeg skal give dig!"
8 And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shewn unto David my father great loving-kindness, and hast made me king in his stead.
Da sagde Salomo til Gud: "Du viste stor Miskundhed mod min Fader David, og du har gjort mig til Konge i hans Sted.
9 Now, Jehovah Elohim, let thy word unto David my father be firm; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
Så lad da, Gud HERRE, din Forjæftelse til min Fader David gå i Opfyldelse, thi du har gjort mig til Konge over et Folk, der er talrigt som Jordens Støv.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy great people?
Giv mig derfor Visdom og Indsigt, så jeg kan færdes ret over for dette Folk, thi hvem kan dømme dette dit store Folk?"
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
Da sagde Gud til Salomo: "Fordi din Hu står til dette, og du ikke bad om Rigdom, Gods og Ære eller om dine Avindsmænds Liv, ej heller om et langt Liv, men om Visdom og Indsigt til at dømme mit Folk, som jeg gjorde dig til Konge over,
12 wisdom and knowledge are granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like.
så skal du få Visdom og Indsigt; men jeg giver dig også Rigdom, Gods og Ære, så at ingen Konge før dig har haft Mage dertil. og ingen efter dig skal have det."
13 Then Solomon came back [from] the high place at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigned over Israel.
Derpå begav Salomo sig fra Offerhøjen i Gibeon, fra Pladsen foran Åbenbaringsteltet, til Jerusalem; og han herskede som Konge over Israel.
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Salomo anskaffede sig Stridsvogne og Ryttere, og han havde 1400 Vogne og 12000 Ryttere; dem lagde han dels i Vognbyerne, dels hos sig i Jerusalem.
15 And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.
Kongen bragte det dertil, af Sølv og Guld i Jerusalem var lige så almindeligt som Sten, og Cedertræ lige så almindeligt som Morbærfigentræ i Lavlandet.
16 And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], at a price.
Hestene, Salomo indførte, kom fra Mizrajim og Kove; Kongens Handelsfolk købte dem i Kove.
17 And they fetched up and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought [them] by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria.
De udførte en Vogn fra Mizrajim for 600 Sekel Sølv, en Hest for150 Ligeledes udførtes de ved Handelsfolkenes Hjælp til alle Hetiternes og Arams Konger.
